Why Choose Thornton Dental Associates?
Collaboration With DC’s Top Implant Specialists
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to implant treatment, Dr. Thornton and Dr. Van der Linden partner exclusively with the best oral surgeons and periodontists in Washington, D.C., to give patients access to completely customized care. This helps ensure you receive the best long-term durability and aesthetics from your treatment.
Custom Restorations, Never Stock Parts
At Thornton Dental Associates, we never use stock abutments or knockoff components to restore smiles. Every patient receives a custom-crafted abutment designed to create the ideal seamless look around the gumline. When combined with high-quality implants and U.S.-made restorative materials, the results look natural, and they last.
Advanced Technology for Streamlined Treatment
Our Washington, D.C., dental office is equipped with the latest technology, including the iTero® digital scanner. This tool allows Dr. Thornton and Dr. Van der Linden to capture highly accurate digital impressions, which in turn leads to more precisely crafted restorations and a smoother, more comfortable experience for our patients.
What Impacts the Cost of Dental Implants?
Number of Implants and Type of Restorations
The more teeth you need to replace, the higher your overall cost for dental implants. A single implant and crown will naturally cost less than multiple implants supporting a bridge or full denture. We can design a personalized plan based on the number of implants required and the type of restoration that best fits your needs during your initial consultation.
Preparatory Care Requirements
Some patients need additional procedures like tooth extractions, bone grafting, or periodontal therapy before they can receive dental implants. These treatments add to your upfront investment, but they’re often necessary to ensure long-term success and implant stability.
Optional Sedation Services
While dental implant placement is typically comfortable with just local anesthesia, some patients prefer sedation for added comfort. If you choose sedation, it will increase your total treatment cost, but it could provide invaluable peace of mind. We’ll discuss all available options to help you make the best decision for your comfort and budget.
Affordable, Accessible Care Insurance and Financing for Dental Implants
While dental implants are not always covered by insurance, 95% of our cases qualify for at least partial coverage of other aspects of treatment, such as the crown, bridge, or dentures.
Even advanced solutions like All-on-4® implant dentures may qualify for partial coverage. Our experienced team will review your insurance plan in detail, provide accurate cost estimates, and handle the paperwork so you get the most from your benefits.
We also gladly take flexible financing through CareCredit® to help with any remaining out-of-pocket expenses. This option allows you to spread your payments over time with low- or no-interest plans based on your credit profile.
In addition, we accept most major credit cards and will work with you to help make the life-changing benefits of dental implants accessible. Message our Washington, D.C., office today to learn more about your coverage options and start planning your new smile.
Patients Give Us 5 Stars
“Dr. Thornton restored my beautiful smile after a bike crash when I lost my two front teeth and others. He is a perfectionist when it comes to matching color and form. He and his staff are empathetic and fun. I can’t recommend this practice enough.”
